I just built a brand new pc with a Gigabyte B650 Gaming AX v2 motherboard with 2xnvme drives and 2xssd drives. In UEFI I configured two raid-1 arrays, one for nvme and one for ssd. Then booted from the Fedora 41 live image and started the installation and I expected that the installer would see just 2 drive - one for each raid array. However, it detected all 4 drives individually. Then I stopped the installation and in a shell I ran lsblk -f and indeed, the 4 disks were treated as separate. One post on google mentioned that hardware raid requires some drivers that exist for windows, but linux only supports some raid controllers. That's surprising to me, because I've had raid on various machines over the years without the issue - maybe because they were all Dell. Of course, I can do software raid, but does anyone have any experience with hardware raid on Fedora with a Gigabyte motherboard?
If the OS can see all 4 drives, then the "RAID" isn't hardware RAID and isn't really doing anything. Is there a reason you don't want to use the Linux software RAID? It's generally a better option.
